2014 Honda CRF125FB Review

Bigger Riders Need Bigger Bikes…

Honda’s all-new CRF125FB (Big Wheel) is going to be a great choice for a wide range of riders. Basically, it’s the same great machine as our new CRF125F, but with bigger wheels and a two-inch taller seat height. You’ll find it’s perfect for teens and smaller adults who just want to get out on the trails and have fun. Loaded with features, we’re especially proud of its reliability (nothing can match a Honda for that), so you get to concentrate on having a good time rather than fussing with a temperamental machine.

Rugged, simple and easy to maintain, it offers styling cues that match our CRF450R and CRF250R motocross bikes. Its electric starter makes it easy to get underway, while a four-speed transmission gives you all the control of a full-sized bike.

Off-road riding should be fun. And for 2014, the new CRF125F (Big Wheel) offers as much fun as bikes twice its size.

Be A Responsible Rider Parents need to consider their youngster’s age, size, ability and maturity before allowing them to ride. See owner’s manual for additional safety and supervisory information. Designed exclusively for off-road operator-only use. Always wear a helmet, eye protection and protective clothing whenever you ride. Never ride under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

In 2013 the CRF110F replaced the immensely popular CRF70F within Honda’s family of fun, entry-level off-road bikes. Now, two new larger-displacement 2014 CRF125F models enter the lineup, allowing consumers more choices in this market segment. The two CRF125F models offer unique wheel sizes that allow them to replace the CRF80F and CRF100F. With a seat height of 28.9 inches, the small-wheel CRF125F seat is the same height as the CRF80F it replaces, while the CRF125F Big Wheel features the same seat height-30.9 inches-as the CRF100F it replaces. This seat-height option allows riders to pick the CRF125F that fits best. Featuring an all-new electric-start 125cc single-cylinder OHC four-stroke engine tuned for loads of low-end grunt plus plenty of pull throughout the powerband, the CRF125Fs also feature a four-speed gearbox. Add a new rolling chassis with upgraded suspension components front and rear plus styling just like Honda’s CRF® motocross bikes, and you have a great addition to Honda’s off-road line of family machines with a bike for all riders-young to old, beginner to expert.

One of the great things about Honda’s line of off-road trail bikes is they seem to have something for everyone, case in point the CRF125F (Big Wheel). Essentially the same as the standard CRF125F the “Big Wheel” version is fitted with 2” larger wheels at each end with a corresponding increase in seat height, ground clearance and wheelbase. Of course it has all the same great features as the regular CRF125F, only with a bit more room. Just getting into motorcycling, or moving up from something smaller, the CRF125F (Big Wheel) may be exactly the right size for you.

And Honda’s legendary durability means that if you outgrow it, you can count on relatively high, retained value at trade in time.
